Monaco: Monaco saw off a battling Le Havre 3-1 on Sunday to keep pace with Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the Ligue 1 table and preserve their unbeaten record.
The Principality side backed up their impressive midweek victory in the Champions League against Spanish giants Barcelona by winning their fourth game in five league outings this term and moving up to second in the standings, behind PSG on goal difference.
Strikes in quick succession midway through the second half by Eliesse Ben Seghir and Folarin Balogun ensured Monaco claimed all three points, after Le Havre's Daler Kuzyaev had cancelled out Jordan Teze's early opener.
"I'm very pleased with the win, even if it wasn't the best game of the season," said Monaco coach Adi Huetter.
Dutch right-back Teze gave the home side the lead inside 10 minutes when he tucked away Takumi Minamino's cross from two yards out after the ball had ping-ponged around the box.
